Teaching Lessons in the Early Morning

This morning while I made my breakfast Olivia, Opal and the three bottle kids went out to eat their breakfast. They where enjoying the grass. I had to sprint back to the kitchen door before the bottle kids could realize I was gone because they are glued to my bum. It is hard for them to not understand why MOMMY is not standing there the whole time they eat - because I have to get things done sweet ones....

As soon as I poured my coffee did the bottle kids realize that I was not out there.. They screamed like they had someone trying to kill them. I looked out the window and they were running in all different directions screaming. Meanwhile Olivia and Opal just kept eating, not even looking up.

Suddenly Llama Boy came running and gathered them all up into a circle and started to look around for me. I figured I better get out there before everyone had a melt down. I took the cast iron skillet off the burner and headed for the back door. As I came down the stairs the kids ran to me like I had been missing for weeks and Llama Boy gave me a look as if to say "Mother's don't leave their little one's alone"... After calming them down I put them back into the barn so I could go and eat my cold breakfast... Yeah, another cold breakfast - cold eggs are just nasty...

Later when the sun starts to go down and the heat of the day I hope cools off a bit we will try this experiment all over again. Hard to get your little one's not to be so needy - doesn't matter if they have two legs or four...
